- and these ta It will be noted in Fig. 8 that the ribs 31 and 32 arespaced apart at the edges thereof y which they are joined to the backingsheet 36 and 37. Since the clip is formed of relatively thin sheet metalit can be folded or bent intermediate its ends ona line 38 and 'tothe.fla s 27 for securing the can thus be used on the corners of thereceptacle 'or for securing-the partitions in posi-' tion, as shown inFig. 1. v

After the-receptacle has been folded'an'd secured as shown in Fig. 1,any desired number of partitions can be placed therein to sub divide thereceptacle into compartments havin the lflilllled sizes and shapes.

' i 2 il ustrates a partition 40 having one end ent around as shown at41 to form a small compartment 42., The partition. is

bent at right angles as shown at 43 and 44, formin a longitudinalportion 45 and a right angle serted in t e receptacle, as shown in Fig.1.

Fig. 3 illustrates another partition havingv rectangular portions 5.0and 51 and rectangular flan or ends 52 and 53. This partition is s ownat A in Fig. 1.

e remaining partitions canbe bent up 1n asimilar manner and placed inthe receptacle and after' the partitions have been properly positionedany desired number of clips such as those shown in Figs. 7, 8 and 9 canbe used to secure them against displacement. A clip B is placed overeach of the 28 and 29 and a clip bent at right angles is secured to eachcorner of the receptacle. Similar clips D and E are used to secure thepartitions in place, it being understood that clips are preferably usedat each end of each partition to secure the partition are used at eachcorner of each compartment to prevent the partitions from being out ofplace.

From the foregoing description it will be clear that a sirn' 1e andpractical compartment receptacle as been designed and that thereceptacle andpartitions can be easily.

and quickly formed and secured insuch a manner as to construct anarticle desired number and sizes of' compartments.

Although one specific embodiment of the invention has been particularlyshownand Figs. 7,8 and 9. The clip ing sheet has lugs or tongues 33 sare also tapered as shown at an e 46. This partition is then in-'adjacent parts and also, if desired,

vention is capable of modification and that 'described,'it will beunderstood thatthe in- I.

changes in the construction and in the arrangement' of the variouscooperating parts may be made without departing from the spirit or scopeof the'invention, as expressed in the following claims.

What I claim is: j 1. A receptacle blank having aplurality ofrcctangularly arranged fold lines therein whereby the blank can befolded to form thebottom and four sides of rectangular receptaclesofdiflerent sizes and shapes.

2. A receptacle formed from a blank having a plurality of rectangularlyarranged fold lines therein whereby the blank can be folded to form thebottomand four sides of rec'- tangular receptacles of diife rent sizesand titions therein, said partitions having trans verse and longitudinalfold .lines whereb the partitions can. be adjusted as to widt andlength.

3. A receptacle formed of foldablematerial, a partition in saidreceptacle and'a sheet metal clip securing the partition in thereceptacle, said clip being bendable intermediate the ends thereof andhaving interengaging and coasting securing elements adjacent the endsthereof. r

4. A receptacle formedof foldable mate-- shapes, and provided with a.plurality of par-- Y rial, a partition in said receptacle and a clipsecuring the partition in the receptacle,-sai

clip' comprising a flat bac'king'sheet bendable intermediate its endsand tabs foldable on said sheet adjacent the-ends thereof andcoacting-securing means .in said tabs and sheet.

' 5. A receptacle having partitions therein forming compartments, 'saidpartitions being constructed of foldable sheets having trans verse andlongitudinal fold lines thereon whereby their length andl width! may bevariedand having angularly bent ends, and means securing sa d ends tothe receptacle.

6. A receptacle having partitions therein forming compartments, saidpartitionsbeing.

constructed offoldable sheets having transverse and longitudinal foldlines thereon whereby their length and width may -be varied and havingangularly'bent ends, and detachable means securing said ends to thereceptacle.

7. receptacle having partitions therein formmg compartments, saidpartitions being verse. and longitudinalfold lines thereon whereby theirlength and widthfmay varied and havin an clips secur' sai en erecetacle.

8. A" clip ormed of bendable s eet metal tabs fol b ed.submntially"parallelon said eat, and. securing means on} said tabs andsheet adjacent the of the sheet,

-col 1structed of foldable sheets having transbe aillybentends, and

and comprising a flat backing sheet, spa'ced whereby said clip may besecured at different points to objects lying in substantiaL ly the sameplane, and said clip bein bend-' able transversely intermediate saidtabs whereby the clip may be secured to objects in diiferent planes.

9. A receptacle having artitions therein forming compartments, 'saiiipartitions being constructed of foldable sheets having a plurality oftransverse fold lines at each end thereof whereby they can be adjustedas to length, and means securing said partitions in the receptacle.

10. A receptacle having partitions therein forming compartments, saidpartitions being constructed of foldable sheets having a plurality oflongitudinal fold lines thereon intermediate the longitudinal edgesthereot whereby they can be adjusted as to width, and means securingsaid partitions in said receptacle.

11.- A receptacle having partitions therein forming compartments saidpartitions being constructed of foldable material having transverse andlongitudinal fold lines thereon whereby they can be adjusted as tolength and width, and means securing said parti tions in saidreceptacle.

- 12. A receptacle formed from a blank hav ing a plurality ofrectangularly arranged fold lines therein whereby the blank can befolded to form the bottom and four sides of rectangular receptacles ofdifferent sizes and shapes, and a plurality of. partitions.
